few new domains registered by me

2010-06-04T08:30:00.001+05:30

Frustrated by searching domain names for Swarnim Times and Adush , I just discovered that it would be nice to register few domains and keep it parked for ever. Actually, I was thinking of some URL shortening service like bit.ly and was selecting names for it. I finally shortlisted 4 domains, and registered all of them.

These are

www.antark.tk
www.adiaba.tk
www.dras.tk
www.magn.tk
www.birla.tk

www.magn.tk which also stands for the word 'Magnetic' will be a URL shortening service,

For other domains I am not sure, hence I invite ideas and suggesitons from you , about any project relevant to it.

My upcoming projects in 1 month

2010-06-02T09:16:00.001+05:30

In the next month I have decided to undertake a number of projects. These include simple news portal to real time searches.Here is a brief synopsis of each of them.

1. Biharprabha Real Estate Portal(www.properties.biharprabha.com)

This will list all the properties , real -estate in Bihar and Jharkhand. Nothing new except it will be first one in Bihar and Jharkahnd.

2. Adush(www.adush.com). This will be global classifieds ads portal. I dont know any classifieds ads portal of global dimension.

3. Swarnim Times(www.swarnimtimes.com) -Swarnim Times is a news portal.Very much similar to other news portals. Need to finalize this portal

4. Real Time People Search. This will a enhanced version of Webmarked Online Directory, having search scope broadened to other portals. I cannot reveal much about it , but shall do in subsequent posts.

Besides, some current projects need to be graduated from my labs after upgrading the features in it

1. Webmarked Business Center(www.webmarked.net)

Biharprabha News- A short journey

2010-06-02T09:15:00.000+05:30

Past couple of days I have been busy developing and promoting the Biharprabha(www.biharprabha.com). Its news section is fully functional now. It can be accessed at www.news.biharprabha.com. This portal showcases only non-criminal ,non-political news from Bihar. The idea came to my mind during my final exams in April and the preliminary initiation were taken during the 2 day gap of the examination itself. Eventually after the examination, we sat over and decided to launch it under Biharprabha.com in the first week of May. The portal has achieved what is called a good start and the traffic is also as per expectation. The average weekly data transfer is 40 MB. The portal is based on the blooming idea that there is always something good in even the worst. Although Bihar lacks development, although it is poor, yet the coin has a bright side too. The development is going on and we intend to aware people about those development. We highlight the excellent work done by the people of Bihar, here and abroad.

We have adopted some smart ways to deliver the news.We do it via Orkut,Facebook,Twitter, Emails and SMS.
SMS: Click here to subscribe to SMS updates

Email: Click here to subscribe to Email Newsletter

Twitter: Follow us on Twitter and stay tuned with the latest happening in the Bihar.
Click here to follow us on Twitter

Orkut: Add us as a friend on Orkut and get news updates to your orkut homepage
Click here to add us on orkut

Facebook: Click here to visit us on Facebook

Presently I devote 1 hour daily on the portal, yet within a month I expect the portal to expand. In such case I would require more people to collaborate. Beside me one of my friend Nikhil posts some news over it.

Anyone wishing to collaborate with me on this initiative should contact me at abhishek@bitpatna.ac.in

BING -Does it really bing?

2009-09-04T20:34:00.002+05:30

Microsoft has recently launched its answer to Google Search, BING as it is known as.
Well MS developers have really exploited AJAX to give a vast search platform.
But if you compare it with Google (noting that Bing has an old ancestor -Live Search), it turns out to be mere another name in the directory of search engine.
It is far lagging behind Google on grounds of Comprehensiveness and freshness.

So friends let us take a bing test

1.Open www.bing.com
2. Type bing.com and hit return

Analyse the result, you will not find the site bing.com(instead you may find bing.co.in)

Well www.bitpatna.ac.in site is live for more than a year.
So let us bing for bitpatna.ac.in
1. Open www.Bing.com
2. Type bitpatna.ac.in and hit return

You will not find it

Now take these tests on Google
1. Open www.google.com
2. Type Google and hit return
You will find it listed

Search for bitpatna.ac.in

You will find it on top of results

Now its your turn to decide

Bing fails to be as comprehensive as Google . It cannot bing itself. Well I dont say that bing can never be at par with Google but at present , to the internet community Googling is preferable to Binging

He loves Hindi songs.
Just like you.
He hates injections.
Just like you

He’s been in love once or twice.

Just like you.
He dreams for his children.
Just like you.
He’s gone to die for a stranger.
And that stranger is you.’

Can we forget those who shed their lives so that we be spared from shedding our life forcefully?.

RIP 2009 Its over Finally

2009-07-01T00:13:00.000+05:30

Today the final codes were submitted and the fortnight long tension got resolved. This accounted for the first comprehensive project in my resume and I am sure is one of the most comprehensive one done during RIP 09. My topic was Engineering College Seat Allocation Process. This is very similar to the counselling process and we tried to implement in the same way we had perceived during the admission time. This is all over and was really an interesting learning experience. The whole development process could have been more productive had we been told to begin implementation a bit early. 15 days back I had no idea of the technology we were going to implement. While my partner was reluctant with EJB I was particularly interested in using JSP .After a long fuss we finally settled with a mixture of Java, Beans, JSP and Servlets. The process had a tough side too .While 1 week ago we had nothing other than the design doc and an idea of what to implement. We had gone through a long way and had to devote 14-18 hours a day to complete it on time. Infact we wasted more than 48 hours in developing adn debugging the login system. Right now I am sending the final version of Design Doc.

However this has started a great tradition of remote internship which I believe shall be soon adopted by many colleges. In fact we are the first one to implement such concept. I would like to thank Mindtree Limited in general and my mentor Ananthshri Muralidharan in particular for making it a grand success. Even one cannot forget the initiative by Jayanta Dutta, the BIT alumni who made all this possible. Finally I would thank my department and T& P cell who were keen to make it a success(Niloy Sir and B B Pant Sir).

Building Rome in a day

2009-06-24T23:44:00.001+05:30

The present project going on with Mindtree has overburdened me. The main problem comes form the fact that we are all new to the technology. The whole process was running smoothly all of a sudden the deadlines appeared and our schedule got damaged. In spite of our best efforts I don’t see that these are going to be completed due time. Let me see if I can get for an extension tomorrow. To make the matter worse Prashant has chosen to implement the whole system using beans which I don’t think is easier. This gives an impression that there is no scope for its completion before 30^th. Few groups have managed to complete because they got a simpler one

After many days today we enjoyed cold weather. Although it did not rain yet it was cold throughout. This type of summer is being witnessed after a long span of 30 or more years. If the situation prevails for more than a week it may lead to severe draught.

May the Soul of Satyam rest in peace

2009-05-31T23:38:00.001+05:30

Today I learned from morning newspapers that the small kid(Satyam) who was kidnapped 1 day ago has been killed. My deepest condolences to the grieving family and prayers of peace to the departed soul. It was totally shocking to learn that the murderers were boys of age 14-15. Its hard to guess which breed of humanity these devils come from. They were inspired by watching Prakash Jha’s movie Apaharan. They did the whole incident in a truly filmic way. Police seems to have sighed relief by arresting the killers. But it seems to me that whole incident is not so simple as it seems to be. There are many more people behind the scene. If I analyse the raising graph of crimes in the city past few days , it appears that these are centrally guided and it will rise more in forthcoming days. I clearly say that they are those old promoters of Kidnapping industry , previously headquartered in Bihar. My doubt is aggravated by the fact that , why the police couldn’t get into the root of plot made by children and recover the kid. Yet they could recover the body when he was killed. It is impossible for children of age 14 to plan such trap alone. Actually they are mere pawns in the game, the real player is somewhere else.

Laluji to be the next Railway Minister

2009-05-20T06:01:00.001+05:30

In the previous few days I have been busy with some of my pending works and have finally completed over 80% of them. The most awaited website www.webmarked.net is on the verge of being release. Yesterday I uploaded its beta version (http://beta.webmarked.net) .The internship has finally started yesterday. Unfortunately there was a link failure with Bangalore so instead of video conferencing , we had to resort to Telephonic conferencing. Mindtree has updated us with the idea of projects but the whole details shall be sounded later on by concerned mentors. Let’s hope for its fruitful culmination.

The election results have come out and were indeed unexpected for me. I had thought of some negatives effects of incumbency. Yet it is difficult to make Congress out of power , when backed by someone of Gandhi –Nehru Family. Previous days I had ample discussion with my friends over the issue. I was shocked by their views and the degree of their misguidedess. They simply ought to believe what politicians say, instead of questioning it rationally. I will later explain what I mean by these few lines. Although I am a complete Rightist I wish Laluji to be the Railway Minister. He really took the whole railways department to the right path. I don’t believe in his profit making figures as these as more accountancy than reality. I base my views on what I perceive. It was during his tenure that the fares went down in spite of rising fuel prices. The fare of AC has gone down by 24-28 % since last 5 years while for Sleeper its 8-10%, in contrast to 10%(average) inflation rate. Previous ministers were adamant to raise the fare for compensating losses. If you account for the trend of fare hike as in previous ministry , the percentage drop will be more pronouncive..

He Burned his boats

2009-05-16T00:21:00.001+05:30

A long time ago there was a great General who was faced with a situation which made it necessary for him to make a drastic decision to insure his success on the battlefield. He was about to send his army on shore to face a powerful enemy, whose men outnumbered his. He loaded his soldiers into boats, and sailed to face the enemies on shore. When they reached the shore, he ordered them to unload the soldiers and cargoes. He then ordered for all the ships and boats to be burned.

Addressing his men before the battle, he said, "You see the ships and boats going up in smoke. That means that we cannot leave these shores alive unless we win! We now, have no choice – either we win, or we perish."

They WON!

SUCCESS PRINCIPLES

Just like the General, we have to burn all our bridges if we want to achieve success. There can be no room for retreat and we must have an attitude of, "Whatever it takes", taking into consideration that we can have anything we desire provided we do not violate Universal Laws and the rights of our fellow human beings. Do not dwell on the past. Move forward with confidence and we will surely see success, unexpected in common hours.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE

"A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles."

THE GOLDEN TELEPHONE-

2009-04-22T18:26:00.001+05:30

This is really a nice story , I found it somewhere

An American decided to write a book about famous churches around the world.

So he bought a plane ticket and took a trip to China.

On his first day he was inside a church taking photographs when he
noticed a golden telephone mounted on the wall with a sign that read
"$10,000 per call".

The American, being intrigued, asked a priest who was strolling by what the telephone was used for.

The priest replied that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 you could talk to God.

The American thanked the priest and went along his way.

Next stop was in japan. There, at a very large cathedral, he saw the same golden telephone with the same sign under it.

He wondered if this was the same kind of telephone he saw in china and he asked a nearby nun what its purpose was.

She told him that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000
he could talk to God.

"O.K., thank you," said the American.

He then travelled to Pakistan, Srilanka, Russia, Germany and France.

In every church he saw the same golden telephone
with the same "$10,000 per call" sign under it. The American, upon leaving Vermont decided to travel to up to India to see if Indians had the same phone.

He arrived in India, and again, in the first church he entered, there
was the same golden telephone, but this time the sign under it read
"One Rupee per call."

The American was surprised so he asked the priest about the sign.
"Father, I've travelled all over World and I've seen this same golden
telephone in many churches. I'm told that it is a direct line to
Heaven,
but in the US the price was $10,000 per call.

Why is it so cheap here?"

The priest smiled and answered, "You're in India now, son - it's a
local call".

KEEP SMILING

CAST NEGATIVE VOTES IF YOU DONT FIND ANY GOOD CANDIDATE

2009-04-18T20:56:00.003+05:30

An e-mail has recently been circulating in which it has been argued that section 49-O of Conduct of Election Rules, 1961 gives a voter the right to cast negative vote, i.e. right to cast vote but not to vote any particular candidate. It has also been stated in this e-mail that if the total number of “NO VOTES” exceeds the total number of valid votes, then that polling will be cancelled and there will have to be re-polling. Besides, the candidature of the contestants will be removed and they cannot contest the re-polling, since people had already expressed their decision on them.

It is true that there is a section 49-O in The Conduct of Election Rules, 1961 in which voters have been given the right not to vote. Section 49-O says:

Elector deciding not to vote - If an elector, after his
electoral roll number has been duly entered in the register of voters
in Form-17A and has put his signature or thumb impression thereon as
required under sub-rule (1) of rule 49L, decided not to record his
vote, a remark to this effect shall be made against the said entry in
Form 17A by the presiding officer and the signature or thumb
impression of the elector shall be obtained against such remark.

http://lawmin.nic.in/ld/subord/cer1.htm

But there is no rule according to which if the total number of “NO VOTES” exceeds the total number of valid votes, then that polling will be cancelled and there will have to be re-polling. There is also no provision for cancellation of candidature of contestants or forfeiture of their right to re-contest.

It appears that many people believe that by not voting, all problems of corruption in politics will disappear. While we understand the desperation of a voter about the corrupt candidates, just casting negative votes cannot solve this problem. Since negative votes are not counted, the bad candidates would still be elected on the basis of whatever valid votes have been cast.

If, just for the sake of argument, it is assumed that everybody had cast negative votes, what would happen? Re-polling will take place and the same candidates will be eligible to contest election again! So there will be simply extra expenditure of tax payers’ money, nothing else!

In any democratic system, people will have to elect their representatives for governance. Not choosing any representative would be inviting only anarchy and chaos. Without elected representatives, who would run the government?

Hence, the solution lies not in rejecting all candidates, but in electing the best available candidate in each constituency.

Life these days

2009-04-18T20:51:00.000+05:30

Oh its again the classes are over and 5 days great preparatory leave has begun

Indeed these are the days which I often lounge for. You know why? Because, the boring classes are not there.

One is free to do whatever one likes.

However me very tensed these and I am afraid whether they will be completed. One is my semester long dream of WEBMARKET . I won’t disclose much (although I know that nobody is going to read it) but this is one in which I have used the best of my LAMP skills and the day it gets finished , it will be a instant hit( at least I believe).

The other is Energy assessment work by NPC. One more is BIT Alumni Portal for BITOSA Bihar Chapter.

You know I have a very bad habit of aggregating all works and pending it to the last minute. But you see I am not to be blamed for this I was too much involved in TECHNIKA and thus I could not finish them.

Hey I want to ask one question to all readers ,whether my English has gone below par standards(in terms of vocabulary and idiomatic usage). I am out of touch to any literature books past 3 years hence I feel that my writing skills are degrading. Thank you in advance

TECHNIKA '09 and its memories

2009-03-23T23:56:00.001+05:30

Today was a very important day for me and my college. It was the concluding day for TECHNIKA- the technical festival and AURA’d09 –the cultural festival. For the past one week I had been totally engadged with TECHNIKA related tasks. Being a student coordinator , your credibility comes to stake if the program fails, but fortunately no such thing happened. As a whole it was a good and memorable event. I had two events under me, iMobile-the mobile programming contest and WEBMASTER- the web designing contest. While IMobile was really a frustrating for me because of the count of participation , Webmaster was a pretty success. There was only one incident which hurt me during whole process. This occurred two days back when few published a notice stating re-registration irrespective of online registration. Later no one claimed to have done it. However it made me learn two lessons. Never rely on your friends and do whatever you feel is right. I missed the limelight for two days and neither my work was acknowledged however I don’t see any point in it. Yesterday when I was busy with some task one boy came with Prashant and they rquested me for a print out. I was enquiring him ,he was from BIT Deoghar; suddenly he said that I had a studied in Deoghar. I was astonished how a person whom I don’t know , can know that I studied at Deoghar few years back. I asked him then he revealed that he found it from my website. This small thing made me very happy. This made me believe that your labour never goes in vain. Till now I wondered if anyone knew about my website, now I am confident and this gives me the power to work ahead. For the first time in life my photograph got published in newspaper today . I had not seen it but few hours ago as I was returning from AURA I glimpsed through the notice board containing paper cuttings of yesterday’s event. These things are memorable part of my life and make you miss your college days in later part of life.

Days of TECHNIKA

2009-03-16T19:44:00.001+05:30

Now the days of TECHNIKA are approaching ,we are still running for sponsors, I am sure we will be able to gather around 2.5 but not sure whether the program will be a grand success or not.With 3 parallel programs TECHNIKA(technical festival),AURA(cultural festival) and Alumni meet, it is going to be a tough nut for the college to handle all of them. Today there was a short introduction session about various events, but the gathering was really disappointing. There were hardly 100 students present. One major problem I saw was that the speakers had no previous experience and they bored the audience. I was sitting at the back and found it hard to understand what they were speaking. Due to this almost half of the audience had gone till my turn came to speak and I was devoid of any interested audience. Tomorrow we have kept another session ,especially for my events. One thing I am learning from all these is how to manage a team. By nature I am very much short-tempered, but I am learning to control them and how to get my job done. These things will be great for my life experience

Jindagi ek safar hai suhana

2009-03-14T19:35:00.002+05:30

In my childhood days i often heard this song , so much so that it has gotta in my mind.But seeing my life at present ,I find it a totally false statement.I am not pessimistic ,but when I analyze my work,my acheivements and compare it to the total effort i put in and the time i devoted ,I feel sorry for myself. You know why I am saying all this? Kids of my age have gone to be celebrities, stars, and I am still struggling with my life. From morning to the night I am caught in the incessant storm of work(better say time wastage because output is mere a trifle).I cannot devote time to me.I rarely get time to analyze my actions, my past,and present.This makes whole thing complicated and all of a sudden it messes your life.

Please readers dont get carried away with my passive thoughts.Woh sharukh ka dialog yaad hai na .....agar sab kuchh thik nahin hua to samjho ki kahani abhi kahtam nahin hui....(Forgive me I have forgotten)

Two hours @ Exam Hall-2

2008-12-02T23:10:00.001+05:30

Today my examinations got over. Last two days had been really tortuous to me.

For two days I even avoided my dinner. I think my hard work didn’t go in vain except for today in DSP I made two silly mistakes .

Had it not been the case it would have been my best semester at BIT. However let bygones be bygones, it can never be corrected.

The long tradition of BIT ,to ask out-of syllabus question has also continued in yesterday’s exam, however toady when i prepared for out-of –syllabus, there was no such question.

Let me see if I can cross the GPA of 8.I returned all the books of Bookbank

Now it is the time to prepare for Techfest of our college. We have named it SPECTRUM -09.Since we are doing it for the first time, BIT administration has decided to fully fund the events.

Initially we thought to have some sponsors. Infact we made all documents ready, but finally BIT decided not to call any sponsor. We have fixed the tentative dates to 24-25 January 09.

Operation Tornado and Raj Thackrey

2008-11-29T20:07:00.001+05:30

Due to my exams i could not attend fully the happenings in the country esp. in Mumbai. On 27^th morning 5AM, when I switched my lappy on ,I found the news regarding Mumbai attacks, and Operation Tornado. While rest 60 hours drama followed, ne thing which haunted me was ,what Raj Thackrey has got to comment on these incidents. Ignoring the security, economy and other issues, he enflamed Mumbai with matters which has nothing to do with the nation’s welfare. What he and his Sena were doing in the hours of crisis? They are brave enough to terrorise all North Indians; why didn’t they did proceed to counter the terrorists. One remarkable point which I see is that the NSG which played the key role in curbing the terror, was comprised mostly of North Indians. They risked their lives just because Raj and his company could sleep in peace!. I admit that there were some Marathi Maanoos(I don’t like calling them this way ,all are Indians) in it, but the question is that had all the Non-Marathis quitted in the operation ,what would have been the fate? I want to give a advice to Raj Thackrey and his company that they should refrain from creating partition within the Country

2 hours@ Exam Hall

2008-11-29T19:34:00.001+05:30

Saturday, today four of my papers ended, along with a drama of consecutive hopelessness and anarchy. If I ponder over past few days of my life, I feel that the basic methodology of life needs to be defined. What I want to say is that we had with prepared all our efforts, but when it came to examination, all faces turned gloomy. The reason is not that we left any stone unturned ,but our efforts were in wrong direction. Coming to the point ,the papers of Soft Computing and Data Communication were mostly out-of-syllabus. Even today , “Semiconductor devices” had strange questions.

The problem is that here what is taught here or what we study is totally guided by the syllabus and the tutorial sheet provided. But at Mesra teachers follow their own syllabus or whatever may be and set question accordingly. When it comes to us we get totally perplexed at the time of examination because question mostly stand out –of-syllabus. We even complained to Director sir about it , but what is lost is lost, it cannot be reclaimed. Why is then syllabus given for? The questions of soft computing were even out of scope of the text book. I don’t know what people at Mesra think but to all og us it is a dirty joke , a severe blow to our prospects. This is not something new but a reiteration of what occurred in 4^th semester end –sem, that time too Discrete Mathematical Structures and DBMS had similar problems. I hope Exam department at Mesra should take the matter seriously and immediately

My Bihar's Sorrow

2008-09-01T18:06:00.001+05:30

Since my childhood I have found in the books of General Knowledge the river Kosi as Bihar’s Sorrow. I really doubted the truth of this statement when more devastating rivers like Baghmati were there.

But all those doubt melted away on 18^th of last month when the river broke its barriers at Bhimnagar. Within 10 days the situation has reached so critical that Govt. has asked to evacuate the Madhepura town. Today morning it read that the main road of Madhepura was submerged with 6 ft of water. I don’t expect any further chances of survival of that city. But the real question is what will be the future of those whose everything has been ruined. Neither I nor you can answer this question. Central Govt has offered a package of 1000 crores INR for the relief and rehabilitation. While I really doubt its implementation I am damn sure that most of the politicians,govt employees will make a good fortune out of it. Yesterday one of my friend told me that most of the restaurant’s in Patna were flooded with Red Light Vehicles(don’t confuse I mean those used by politicians).When he enquired he found that some sort of celebration was going on. While such massive celebration at the time of disaster should be avoided, it actually indicated huge grants from Govt offered for relief works. These shameless creatures have started planning how to forge out the huge money which basically belongs to helpless people ruined in flood.

Placement Practice

2008-08-30T15:40:00.002+05:30

Last three days had really been an interesting one.Second time here at PATNA Campus we had mock practices of Campus Recruitment Process.Mr. B. B. Pant,HEAD T&P BIT Mesra had come to our campus.We had Technical,Aptitude,Quantitive,English Tests followed by Group Discussion and Interviews.Out of these the worst experience was during Group Discussion.The way other participants started a fish market,I thought I would not utter a single word.But I joined a bit later but had to converge the discussion to a messy ending.I dont know why good speakers cannot be good listeners.Everyone was fighting with others like it was the State Legislature.Today sir cited a roadmap for development of required competency.

Rural Bihar Shining - A scintillating Truth

2008-08-22T15:25:00.002+05:30

Today morning when I opened the newspaper, the story which excited me most was a rural BPO in Bihar.Disbelieving ,it read " Saurath, located about 180 km from Patna, is known for its `fair of grooms’ of Maithil Brahmins. But the fair is fast losing its traditional value. At present, ripples are being created for a different reason altogether. Last year, Drishtee Development and Communication Ltd, a Noida-based company opened the first rural BPO of north India. "
It further added "The BPO has 20 computers and four permanent employees, apart from six others on contract. "I never thought that I would be able to do a job in my life. But here, I enjoy talking to persons in UP, Bihar and Assam," remarked a 38-year-old housewife, Asha Jha. Asha is a matriculate and the sudden transformation from a housewife to a working woman appears to have thrilled her. "I earn Rs 17.50 per hour and it comes to around Rs 3,500 per month," she said, adding it has given her great confidence. ".

This is the real face of development which the country needs the most. These people need to be awarded for addressing the least adressed strata of our society.Even on a small scale it is a giant leap for the development of our nation.If the major corporate players could learn a lesson from it, the basic issues of poverty and unemployment can be fought with a great deal.
This is even more rewarding from corporate point of view.Since the cost of living in rural area is low , henceforth the Cost to Company(CTC) for these tasks will be lower.Thus bigger companies can expect more profits in such ventures.

Towards developing Bihar-A mirage

2008-07-22T12:02:00.000+05:30

Bihar state has been known since a long time for its pool of talents and intellectuals.Spread over the globe Biharis(or i call BIHARIANS) have made excellent progress and contributed to the global development that Bihar Brand has emerged as a reliable symbol in the corporate and international academia.
Inspite of all this the real Bihar is too redundant to be developed.The state government's measures to improve the plight of Bihar is noteworthy,yet at the same time the corrupt administration has been blocking the outcomes of all those efforts.
Inspite of wastage of millions over the constructions of roads, the roads in the bihar is still rickety.No particular agency or person can be blamed for this but the people of Bihar.
Everyone wants to have good roads,facilities,etc yet they create hindrance in the development.
Not a single road can be constructed without paying the ransom, or handful of money to the local dadas.Even contractors want to make for their whole life at once.Honesty is being considered the worst policy.
If this

Vice Chancellor -MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE

2008-03-13T13:47:00.000+05:30

With profound grief I have to state that our Vice Chancellor Dr. S. K. Mukherjee passed away yesterday.The event is mournful because we have lost a very dynamic person.He was instrumental in the setting up of our Patna Campus.Last time i met him was on 17 feb ,just 5 days ago he suffered lung problem and was hospitalized.He came in the workshop for Energy Efficiency.He was very friendly to almost every staff and faculty members and used to greet them whole heartily.His popularity can be imagined from the fact that every staff who came from Main Campus at Mesra would tell him self very close to him.

His words ,when we joined the institute ,still echo in my ears,"You have done a great job ,joining here at Patna.I want to assure you that resources will never be a problem in your development.This all is yours ,It is up to you much you utilize the available resources."

He introduced each and every faculty members to us, and i was surprised to see that he remembered the names and details of each one of them(Keeping in mind there are more than 200 faculty members at BIT Mesra).

Last time when I heard about him was few days ago,having learnt that he was ill and hospitalized.He was having breathing and pulmonary problems.He was admitted to Apollo Ranchi and was later referred to Apollo Calcutta, where he took his last breath.Doctors reason the failure of multiple organs as the prime cause of his demise.Today his mortal remains might have been cremated.

May his soul rest in piece and his highly cherished dream project of BIT Patna grow and flourish.

Placement Season Begins

2008-03-10T08:13:00.001+05:30

I may be happy indeed that placement activities at BIT have started at last.Yesterday we welcomed Mr. P. K. Srivastava Director HR METZELER an Italian Rubber goods company.
He told us many things related to placements and emphasized ,what a company wants in the right candidate.He shared many of his experiences with us.After that a mock Group Discussion (GD)was conducted shortly folllowed by a mock interview.We learnt many things from him.
This is a good sign because we dont want to run to Mesra for placements and all

Yadav . The aim of the workshop was to create awareness about Energy efficiency act 2001 in the state of Bihar among the Bureaucrats, Engineers, Architect, Academician, Industrialist & big Energy users like Hotels, Hospitals, Apartments etc. The workshop was jointly organized by:

Dr. S. K. Mukherjee, Vice Chancellor, BIT, Mesra, Ranchi in his welcome address said that BIT is proud to organize an event which will help in implementing the Energy Efficiency act 2001 in the state of Bihar, and requested to the delegates to put forward their recommendations and amendments on the act .

BREDA Director S.P. Singh stressed on the requirement of Energy Auditor’s in the state who play a key role in saving energy for industries. He told that only BEE marked goods should be purchased by the govt. so that a shift may occur in the market and ENERGY inefficient goods will be out of market taking into consideration the fact that govt. is the largest buyer of electronics goods.

G. P. Lal ,Member board of Governors, BIT explained that energy saved is equal energy to energy produced. He said that a small shift is required from subsidy to incentive and extra subsidy should be given to energy efficient machinery. A coarse material should be designed for students regarding energy efficiency.

Sri Rajendra Prasad, Hon’ble justice of Patna High court highlighted the laws governing energy act. He explained the powers of the act. .he said that laws regarding energy were not known to public and termed them as dead laws.

Mr. K. K. Chakravarthy, BEE New Delhi, in his keynote address said that coal and petrol reserves will be lost in 70 & 30 years respectively .Only sun can save us from this energy crisis. In energy conservation we are late by 20 years when compared to western countries.

Injustice to North Indians

2008-02-14T11:50:00.000+05:30

I am very much distressed after coming to know the agilitation against North Indians especially Biharis in Maharashtra.These little chaps like Raj Thackery who are forcing northist for leaving Maharashtra for their hidden political ventures forget that we have Single Citizenship in India.All the values of great freedom fighters like Mahatma Gandhi ,Subhas Chandra Bose have been dumped.They donot know that if ALL NORTH INDIANS go against them their whole economy will be spoilt
